With the 20th overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints have selected Oregon State wide receiver Brandin Cooks.
Cooks is being drafted to be the big play, impact receiver that Drew Brees and the Saints sorely need. I love this pick and I honestly did not expect the Saints to get him. It came at a cost though, their third round pick, but the Saints aren't used to having a pick in every round anyway. Now the Saints have a receiving corps consisting of Marques Colston, Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, Joseph Morgan, Robert Meachem, and Nick Toon among others, not bad at all.
I'm all for this pick, but what do you think Who Dat Nation? Do you love, like, or loathe this selection? Make a selection in our poll and leave us your insight and opinions below!
